That is, the lead wire constituting the coil 40a having the lead wire 42a is different from the lead wires constituting one coil 40 and the other coil 40 to which the crossover wire 41 shown in fig. 4 and 5 is connected. The current flowing in the outgoing line 42a and the current flowing in the crossover 41 shown in fig. 4 and 5 are different in phase from each other. The crossover wire 41 passes through the radially inner side of the portion of the lead wire 42a extending upward from the coil 40 a.

As shown in fig. 4 to 7, the crossover 41 has a portion that is disposed on the lower side of the 1 st inclined surface 52c in the radial outer surface of the 1 st outer wall portion 52a and extends in the circumferential direction. That is, the crossover wire 41 is hooked on a portion of the radially outer surface of the 1 st outer wall portion 52a that is located below the 1 st inclined surface 52c of the convex portion 52 b. According to the present embodiment, even if the crossover 41 is to be moved in the axial direction by, for example, an external force or vibration, the crossover 41 comes into contact with the convex portion 52b from below. The protruding portion 52b suppresses the crossover wire 41 from coming off upward from the radially outer surface of the 1 st outer wall portion 52a when the stator 10 is manufactured, for example.

Further, for example, when the coil 40 is wound around the stator core 20 and the crossover 41 is provided using a winding machine having a nozzle, interference between the convex portion 52b and the nozzle of the winding machine can be suppressed because the 1 st inclined surface 52c is provided on the convex portion 52 b. That is, since the convex portion 52b has the 1 st inclined surface 52c, when the lap wire 41 is caught by the winder below the convex portion 52b, the tip of the winder easily avoids the convex portion 52b, and contact between the convex portion 52b and the tip is suppressed. Further, by providing the 1 st inclined surface 52c on the convex portion 52b, it is easy to secure a space radially outside and below the 1 st inclined surface 52c, and to move the nozzle of the winder along the 1 st inclined surface 52 c. This suppresses the wire nozzle from greatly detouring the convex portion 52b, and the movement path of the wire nozzle is not easily wasted, and as a result, it is possible to suppress the single man-hour (tact time) in manufacturing the stator 10, and to improve the productivity in manufacturing the stator 10. Even when the crossover 41 is wound around the 1 st inclined surface 52c, the crossover 41 is likely to slide downward from the surface of the 1 st inclined surface 52c along the inclination of the 1 st inclined surface 52 c. Therefore, the crossover 41 can be stably arranged at a predetermined position. By providing the 1 st inclined surface 52c on the convex portion 52b, application of a large force to the crossover 41 when the crossover 41 is drawn around on the radially outer surface of the 1 st outer wall portion 52a is suppressed.

In the present embodiment, the insulator 50 is made of resin. When resin molding the insulator 50, a pair of dies (upper and lower dies), not shown, is moved in the axial direction. As shown in fig. 6, the parting line P of the pair of dies is located above the 1 st inclined surface 52 c. Therefore, even when resin burrs, not shown, are generated in the vicinity of the parting line P of the 1 st inclined surface 52c, the crossover 41 located below the 1 st inclined surface 52c can be prevented from coming into contact with the resin burrs. Therefore, the trouble that the crossover 41 is damaged or the routing becomes unstable due to the resin burr is suppressed.

As shown in fig. 4 to 7, the crossover 41 has a portion passing through the inside of the recess 52 i. According to the present embodiment, by passing the crossover 41 through the recess 52i, the crossover 41 can be easily routed from the portion of the 1 st outer wall 52a below the 1 st inclined surface 52c to the radially inner side of the 1 st outer wall 52 a. In the present embodiment, the axial position of the bottom surface of the recess 52i facing upward is disposed below the axial position of the lower end of the 1 st inclined surface 52 c. Therefore, the crossover 41 can be more easily routed from the portion located below the 1 st inclined surface 52c into the recess 52 i. That is, the crossover 41 can be simply extended in the circumferential direction from the lower side of the convex portion 52b and introduced into the concave portion 52i, and there is no need to extend the crossover 41 obliquely upward, for example, as it goes toward the circumferential direction. Therefore, the length of the crossover wire 41 drawn on the radially outer surface of the 1 st outer wall portion 52a can be suppressed to be short.

Further, the crossover 41 has a portion passing radially inward of the 2 nd outer wall portion 52 g. Specifically, the crossover wire 41 passes through the inside of the 2 nd outer wall portion 52g in the radial direction, passes through the opening 52k, extends to the outside of the 1 st outer wall portion 52a in the radial direction, and passes through the lower side of the convex portion 52b on the outer side surface of the 1 st outer wall portion 52a in the radial direction. According to the present embodiment, when the coil 40 is wound around the stator core 20 and the crossover wire 41 is provided using the winding machine having the nozzle, since the 2 nd inclined surface 52h is provided on the 2 nd outer wall portion 52g, interference between the 2 nd outer wall portion 52g and the nozzle of the winding machine can be suppressed. That is, since the 2 nd outer wall portion 52g has the 2 nd inclined surface 52h, when the winder passes the crossover wire 41 radially inward of the 2 nd outer wall portion 52g, the nozzle of the winder easily avoids the 2 nd outer wall portion 52g, and the contact of the 2 nd outer wall portion 52g with the nozzle is suppressed. Further, by providing the 2 nd inclined surface 52h on the 2 nd outer wall portion 52g, it is easy to secure a space radially inside and above the 2 nd inclined surface 52h, and to move the nozzle of the winder along the 2 nd inclined surface 52 h. This suppresses a large detour of the nozzle with respect to the 2 nd outer wall portion 52g, and the movement path of the nozzle is not easily wasted, and as a result, the number of individual steps required for manufacturing the stator 10 can be reduced, and the productivity of manufacturing the stator 10 can be improved.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the axial position of the upper end edge of the 2 nd outer wall portion 52g is arranged below the axial position of the upper end edge of the 1 st outer wall portion 52 a. Therefore, the nozzle of the winder is less likely to contact the 2 nd outer wall portion 52 g.

As shown in fig. 2 to 5, the support member 31 is disposed above the stator core 20, the insulator 50, and the coil 40. The material of the support member 31 is an insulating material such as resin. In the present embodiment, the support member 31 is made of resin. As shown in fig. 3 to 6, the support member 31 includes a main body portion 33 and a bus bar terminal holding portion 32.

The main body 33 has a plate shape with a plate surface facing in the axial direction. The body 33 has an annular shape centered on the central axis J. The main body 33 is disposed inside the housing 11. The body 33 is supported and fixed by the insulator 50 from below. The body 33 is supported from below on the surface of the outer wall 52 facing upward. The body portion 33 is supported from below by the flat surface 52f of the 1 st outer wall portion 52 a. According to the present embodiment, since the body portion 33 is supported by the flat surface 52f, the mounting posture of the support member 31 with respect to the insulator 50 can be stabilized.

The main body 33 has a mounting hole 33b, an outer peripheral recess 31a, a through hole 31b, a partition wall 31c, and a hole 33 c. That is, the support member 31 has the mounting hole 33b, the outer peripheral recess 31a, the through hole 31b, the partition wall portion 31c, and the hole 33 c. The support member 31 may not have the hole 33 c.

As shown in fig. 4 to 6, the mounting hole 33b penetrates the body portion 33 in the axial direction. The mounting hole 33b is disposed at the radially outer end of the body portion 33. In the example of the present embodiment, the mounting hole 33b is a circular hole. The pin 52d is inserted into the mounting hole 33 b. According to the present embodiment, the support member 31 and the insulator 50 can be positioned by inserting the pin 52d into the mounting hole 33 b. Therefore, manufacturing the stator 10 becomes easy. When the pin 52d is inserted into the mounting hole 33b, the rib 52e is preferably plastically or elastically deformed. At least a part of the rib 52e contacts the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole 33 b. According to the present embodiment, since the rib 52e is provided on the pin 52d, the pin 52d can be prevented from easily coming out of the mounting hole 33 b. That is, the pin 52d can be firmly fixed to the mounting hole 33b by press-fitting or the like.

In the present embodiment, at least a part of the lower end of the pin 52d is disposed on the upper end surface of the convex portion 52 b. Since the convex portion 52b is disposed at the upper end portion of the 1 st outer wall portion 52a, a large area of a cross section perpendicular to the central axis J of the upper end portion of the 1 st outer wall portion 52a is ensured. That is, since the upper end surface of the convex portion 52b constitutes a part of the upper surface of the 1 st outer wall portion 52a, a large area is secured for the upper surface of the 1 st outer wall portion 52 a. According to the present embodiment, the outer diameter of the pin 52d provided at the upper end portion of the 1 st outer wall portion 52a can be increased, and the rigidity of the pin 52d can be easily ensured against the load when the pin 52d is pressed into the mounting hole 33 b. Therefore, the assembly posture of the support member 31 and the insulator 50 can be stabilized. Further, since the surface of the 1 st outer wall portion 52a facing upward is the flat surface 52f, when the pin 52d is inserted into the mounting hole 33b, even if a force is applied to the upper end portion of the 1 st outer wall portion 52a, the force is dispersed, and deformation of the pin 52d and the upper end portion of the 1 st outer wall portion 52a is suppressed. Further, when the support member 31 is attached to the insulator 50, the lower surface of the body portion 33 is axially supported by the flat surface 52f, and therefore, the support member 31 can be prevented from being deformed. Further, since the surface of the 1 st outer wall portion 52a facing upward is the flat surface 52f, the mold can be formed in a simple shape when the insulator 50 is molded by injection molding using a resin, and the manufacturing cost of the mold can be suppressed.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the outer peripheral recessed portion 31a penetrates the body portion 33 in the axial direction and is recessed inward in the radial direction from the outer peripheral surface of the body portion 33. That is, the outer circumferential recess 31a penetrates the support member 31 in the axial direction and is recessed inward in the radial direction from the outer circumferential surface of the support member 31. The outer circumferential recess 31a is disposed at the radially outer end of the support member 31. The outer circumferential recessed portion 31a has an opening portion that opens radially outward when viewed in the axial direction. The portion of the lead wire 42a extending upward from the coil 40a passes through the inside of the outer peripheral recess 31 a. The lead wire 42a is led out to the upper side of the support member 31 via the insulator 50 and the outer peripheral recess 31 a.

In the example of the present embodiment, the outer circumferential recessed portion 31a has a U-shape that opens outward in the radial direction and extends in the radial direction, as viewed in the axial direction. The outer peripheral recess 31a is a notch shape recessed radially inward from the outer peripheral surface of the body portion 33. The notch shape does not mean a manufacturing method, but means a shape (structure) of the outer peripheral recess 31 a.

A pair of portions of the inner peripheral surface (inner edge) of the outer peripheral recess 31a facing in the circumferential direction are linear extending in the radial direction, as viewed in the axial direction. A pair of portions facing in the circumferential direction in the inner circumferential surface of the outer circumferential recessed portion 31a are opposed to each other with a gap in the circumferential direction. The radially inner end of the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral recessed portion 31a is shaped like a concave curve, specifically, a concave arc, that is recessed radially inwardly when viewed in the axial direction. This portion corresponds to the 1 st wall surface of the partition wall 31c, which will be described later. That is, at least a part of the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral recessed portion 31a is recessed radially inward as viewed in the axial direction. In the example of the present embodiment, at least a part of the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral recessed portion 31a is positioned inside a through hole 31b described later when viewed in the axial direction. The inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral recess 31a has a portion radially inward of the outer wall 52 of the insulator 50 as viewed in the axial direction. Specifically, at least the radially inner end of the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral recess 31a is located radially inward of the outer wall 52. A portion of the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral recess 31a that is radially inward of the outer wall 52 is located above the coil 40 a. The coil 40a overlaps a portion of the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral recess 31a that is radially inward of the outer wall 52 when viewed in the axial direction.

The through hole 31b axially penetrates the body 33. That is, the through hole 31b penetrates the support member 31 in the axial direction. The through hole 31b functions as, for example, an undercut hole of the body portion 33. By providing the through-hole 31b, the amount of material used for the main body portion 33 can be reduced, and weight reduction, material cost reduction, and the like can be achieved. The through hole 31b is disposed radially inward of the outer peripheral recess 31 a. The through hole 31b is disposed adjacent to the outer circumferential recessed portion 31a on the radially inner side. The through hole 31b overlaps the outer circumferential recess 31a as viewed in the radial direction. The position of the through hole 31b is the same as the position of the outer peripheral recess 31a in the circumferential direction. In the main body portion 33, the through hole 31b and the outer peripheral recess 31a are provided independently of each other.

The through hole 31b overlaps the crossover 41 when viewed in the axial direction. According to the present embodiment, the worker or the assembling apparatus (hereinafter, referred to as a worker or the like) who assembles the motor 1 can easily visually confirm the crossover wire 41 through the through hole 31 b. The through hole 31b extends in the circumferential direction. Both ends in the circumferential direction of the through hole 31b are arranged at positions outside both ends in the circumferential direction of the outer circumferential recessed portion 31 a. According to the present embodiment, since the through-hole 31b is largely open in the circumferential direction, the worker or the like can more easily visually confirm the crossover 41 through the through-hole 31 b. In the present embodiment, the through-hole 31b also overlaps the outer circumferential recessed portion 31a when viewed in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the size of the main body 33 in the radial direction is kept small while the function of the through hole 31b and the function of the outer circumferential recessed portion 31a are ensured.

The partition wall 31c is disposed between the outer peripheral recess 31a and the through hole 31 b. The partition wall 31c has a portion located at least between the outer peripheral recess 31a and the through hole 31b in the radial direction. The partition wall 31c is a wall that partitions the outer peripheral recess 31a and the through hole 31 b. The partition wall 31c constitutes a part of the wall constituting the outer peripheral recess 31a and a part of the wall constituting the through hole 31 b. In the example of the present embodiment, the partition wall portion 31c has an arc shape that is convex inward in the radial direction when viewed in the axial direction. The partition wall 31c has a 1 st wall surface and a 2 nd wall surface.

The 1 st wall surface is a wall surface facing radially outward in the partition wall portion 31 c. The 1 st wall surface constitutes a portion of the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral recess 31 a. The 1 st wall surface is located at a radially inner end portion in the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral recess 31 a. The 1 st wall surface is recessed radially inward as viewed in the axial direction. In the example of the present embodiment, the 1 st wall surface has an arc shape that is recessed inward in the radial direction when viewed in the axial direction.

The 2 nd wall surface is a wall surface facing radially inward in the partition wall portion 31 c. The 2 nd wall surface constitutes a part of the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 31 b. The 2 nd wall surface is continuous with the radially outer end portion of the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 31 b. The 2 nd wall surface is disposed adjacent to the radially outer end portion of the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 31b in the circumferential direction. The 2 nd wall surface protrudes radially inward as viewed in the axial direction. In the example of the present embodiment, the 2 nd wall surface has an arc shape that is convex inward in the radial direction when viewed in the axial direction.

The portion of the lead line 42a extending upward passes radially outward of the 1 st wall surface in the outer peripheral recess 31 a. According to the present embodiment, since the lead wire 42a passes through the outer peripheral recessed portion 31a, the lead wire 42a, which is temporarily bent and extended radially outward from the coil 40a via the insulator 50, can be bent upward and disposed in the outer peripheral recessed portion 31a when manufacturing the stator 10. That is, although not particularly shown, the position in the circumferential direction of the lead wire 42a drawn out to the outside in the radial direction of the stator core 20 is the same as the position in the circumferential direction of the outer circumferential recess 31 a. Therefore, when the lead wire 42a extending in the radial direction is raised upward, a part of the portion of the lead wire 42a extending upward is housed in the outer peripheral recessed portion 31a, and the lead wire 42a can be easily led upward (toward the support member 31). Therefore, the worker or the like can easily dispose the lead wire 42a from the outside to the inside of the outer peripheral concave portion 31 a. According to the present embodiment, the coil winding operation can be easily automated. That is, with the above-described configuration, the stator 10 can be easily manufactured by automatic assembly using a machine or the like.

The lead wire 42a and the crossover wire 41 are disposed apart from each other by the partition wall 31 c. That is, the gap between the lead wire 42a passing through the 1 st wall surface of the partition wall 31c on the outer side in the radial direction and the crossover wire 41 passing through the lead wire 42a on the inner side in the radial direction can be stably secured. That is, the crossover 41 is disposed below the support member 31, and the lead wire 42a has a portion disposed above the support member 31. The lead wire 42a is arranged to be separated from the crossover wire 41 in the radial direction by passing through the outer peripheral recessed portion 31 a. According to the present embodiment, the lead wires 42a and the crossover wires 41 are both disposed on the same side in the axial direction of the stator core 20 (the upper side of the stator core 20 in the present embodiment), and the lead wires 42a are prevented from contacting the crossover wires 41. Further, since the through-hole 31b is provided, it is easy for an operator or the like to visually check the crossover 41 through the through-hole 31b when manufacturing the stator 10. Moreover, the gap between the lead wire 42a and the crossover 41 is stably secured. In addition, in the present embodiment, the phase of the current flowing through the lead wire 42a and the phase of the current flowing through the crossover 41 are different from each other. According to the present embodiment, the short circuit between the lead wire 42a and the crossover wire 41 can be suppressed.

The crossover 41 is disposed radially inward from the 1 st wall surface of the partition wall 31c when viewed in the axial direction. According to the present embodiment, the contact between the crossover 41 and the lead wire 42a can be further suppressed.

The 1 st wall surface has a portion radially inward of a radially outer end portion of the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 31 b. Therefore, the partition wall 31c has a shape that enters the through hole 31 b. According to the present embodiment, the radially inner end of the outer peripheral recess 31a can be easily separated from the outer peripheral surface of the support member 31. As in the present embodiment, even if the metal cylindrical portion 13 is disposed radially outward of the support member 31, the lead wire 42a inserted into the outer circumferential recessed portion 31a can be disposed away from the cylindrical portion 13. Therefore, insulation between the lead wire 42a and the cylindrical portion 13 is ensured.

As shown in fig. 3, the hole 33c penetrates the body portion 33 in the axial direction. The hole 33c extends in the circumferential direction. The holes 33c are provided in plurality at intervals in the circumferential direction. The hole 33c functions as, for example, a cutout hole of the body 33. By providing the hole 33c, the amount of material used for the body portion 33 can be reduced, and weight reduction, material cost reduction, and the like can be achieved. The lead-out wire 42 passes through at least one hole 33c of the plurality of holes 33 c.

The bus bar terminal holding portion 32 extends upward from the main body portion 33. The bus bar terminal holding portion 32 is provided in plurality in the circumferential direction. In the present embodiment, 3 bus bar terminal holding portions 32 are provided. The bus bar terminal holding portion 32 holds the bus bar terminal 43. The bus bar terminal holding portion 32 has a cylindrical shape extending in the axial direction, and holds the bus bar terminal 43 therein. According to the present embodiment, the bus bar terminal 43 can be easily held by the bus bar terminal holding portion 32. The bus bar terminal holding portion 32 extends to a position above the cover portion 12 through the window hole 17 and protrudes outside the case 11.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, the bus bar terminal 43 is supported by the support member 31 and connected to the coil 40. The bus bar terminal 43 is a conductive member. In the present embodiment, the bus bar terminal 43 is made of metal such as copper or silver. The bus bar terminal 43 protrudes from the inside of the housing 11 to the outside of the housing 11 through the window hole 17. The bus bar terminal 43 has a conduction part 43b and a connection part 43 a.

The conduction portion 43b is plate-shaped with its plate surface facing the radial direction and extends in the axial direction. The conduction part 43b is inserted into and held by the bus bar terminal holding part 32. The conduction part 43b protrudes above the bus bar terminal holding part 32. The conduction part 43b is connected to an external device such as a control device of the motor 1. The conductive portion 43b can be connected to, for example, a control board or an external power supply.

The connecting portion 43a is connected to the lower end of the conduction portion 43 b. The connecting portion 43a protrudes radially more than the conductive portion 43 b. In the example of the present embodiment, the connection portion 43a protrudes radially inward from the conduction portion 43 b. The connection portion 43a is connected to the lead wire 42. Thereby, the bus bar terminal 43 is electrically connected to the coil 40. In the example of the present embodiment, 2 lead lines 42 are connected to the connection portion 43 a. The two lead wires 42 are arranged in the axial direction.

At least a part of the connecting portion 43a is arranged to protrude radially inward from a radially inward facing surface of the bus bar terminal holding portion 32. Specifically, at least the portion of the connection portion 43a connected to the lead wire 42 is disposed radially inward of the surface of the bus bar terminal holding portion 32 facing radially inward. According to the present embodiment, it is suppressed that it is difficult to wind the lead wire 42 near the bus bar terminal holding portion 32, and the connection portion 43a and the lead wire 42 are easily connected. In the present embodiment, the connection portion 43a and the lead wire 42 are welded together.

In the present embodiment, although not particularly shown, the connecting portion 43a has a substantially U-shape that is open on the upper side in a vertical cross section including the center axis J. The connecting portion 43a includes a portion bent in a U-shape in the bus bar terminal 43. The connection portion 43a is formed by bending a part of the plate member into a U-shape. The lead wire 42 is sandwiched between the connection portions 43 a.

As shown in fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the bus bar terminals 43 are provided in the circumferential direction in 3 numbers. The 3 bus bar terminals 43 are supplied with U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase ac currents, respectively. Thereby, the motor 1 is supplied with 3-phase alternating current via the 3 bus bar terminals 43. In the present embodiment, the motor 1 is a 3-phase motor. However, the motor 1 is not limited to the 3-phase motor, and may be a single-phase motor, a 2-phase motor, or a multi-phase motor having 4 or more phases. In this case, the number of the bus bar terminals 43 can be appropriately changed according to the number of phases of the motor. The number of coils 40, the number of lead wires 42, and the number of bonding wires 41 may be changed as appropriate.

The molded resin portion 35 is a resin member. As shown in fig. 2, the molded resin portion 35 has a substantially cylindrical shape extending in the axial direction about the central axis J. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the molded resin portion 35 covers at least a part of the support member 31 and at least a part of the bus bar terminal 43. According to the present embodiment, the support member 31 and the bus bar terminal 43 are fixed by the mold resin portion 35, and the support state of the bus bar terminal 43 is stabilized.

More specifically, a part of the stator core 20, at least a part of the insulator 50, at least a part of the coil 40, at least a part of the support member 31, and at least a part of the bus bar terminal 43 are embedded in the mold resin portion 35. Therefore, the stator core 20, the insulator 50, the coil 40, the support member 31, and the bus bar terminals 43 can be integrally and collectively fixed by the mold resin portion 35. In addition, the coil 40 is easily insulated. In the present embodiment, the entire insulator 50 and the entire coil 40 are embedded in the mold resin portion 35.

The support member 31 is entirely embedded in the molded resin portion 35 except for the upper end surface of the bus bar terminal holding portion 32. The connection portion 43a of the bus bar terminal 43 is covered with the mold resin portion 35. This stabilizes the fixed state of the connection portion 43a and the lead wire 42, and improves the sealing property in the vicinity of the connection portion 43 a. In the present embodiment, the bus bar terminal 43 is covered with the molded resin portion 35 except for the conduction portion 43 b. At least a part of the conduction portion 43b is exposed from the molded resin portion 35. Specifically, at least the upper end of the conduction portion 43b is exposed from the mold resin portion 35. According to the present embodiment, conduction of the conduction portion 43b is ensured, and the sealing property of the portion of the bus bar terminal 43 other than the conduction portion 43b is ensured by the molded resin portion 35.

The molded resin portion 35 is manufactured by, for example, insert molding as follows: the molten resin is poured into a mold in which the stator core 20, the insulator 50, the coil 40, the support member 31, and the bus bar terminal 43 are inserted, and solidified. In addition, the molten resin is poured into the mold toward one axial side. That is, the resin flows around the stator core 20, the insulator 50, and the coil 40, and then reaches the support member 31 and the periphery of the bus bar terminal 43.

The molded resin portion 35 includes a 1 st annular portion 36, a 2 nd annular portion 37, a bus bar terminal support portion 38, and a plurality of columnar portions (not shown). The 1 st annular portion 36 has a substantially annular shape centered on the central axis J. As shown in fig. 2, the 1 st annular portion 36 is located above the upper surface of the stator core 20. The 1 st annular portion 36 is disposed radially outward of the rotor 80, and surrounds a part of the rotor 80. The 1 st annular portion 36 surrounds a part of the shaft 81 and the bearing 25 from the radially outer side. The outer peripheral surface of the 1 st annular portion 36 is disposed radially inward of the outer peripheral surface of the stator core 20. The outer peripheral surface of the 1 st annular portion 36 extends upward from the upper end surface of the core back 21. The inner circumferential surface of the 1 st annular portion 36 is arranged at the same position as the radially inner side surface of the tooth 22 in the radial direction.

The 1 st ring portion 36 is disposed below the lid portion 12. The 1 st annular portion 36 is entirely housed inside the housing 11. The 1 st ring portion 36 covers the window hole 17 from the lower side. Therefore, foreign matter can be prevented from entering the inside of the housing 11 from the outside of the housing 11 through the window hole 17. The portion of the insulator 50 above the stator core 20, the portion of the coil 40 above the stator core 20, the portion of the support member 31 disposed inside the housing 11, and the portion of the bus bar terminal 43 disposed inside the housing 11 are embedded in the 1 st annular portion 36.

The 1 st annular portion 36 is in contact with the lower surface of the cover 12 over the entire circumferential range. Specifically, the radially outer end of the upper end of the 1 st annular portion 36 contacts the radially outer portion of the lower surface of the cover 12 from below over the entire circumferential range, the portion being located radially outward of the window hole 17.

The 1 st annular portion 36 has a 1 st hole portion 36a recessed downward from the upper surface of the 1 st annular portion 36. As shown in fig. 1, the 1 st hole portion 36a overlaps the window hole 17 when viewed in the axial direction. Thus, for example, by inserting the jig into the 1 st hole portion 36a from the upper side of the cover portion 12 through the window hole 17, the stator 10 can be positioned in the circumferential direction with respect to the housing 11, and the stator 10 can be fixed to the housing 11. In the present embodiment, the 1 st hole portion 36a is provided in plurality in the circumferential direction.

In the present embodiment, the 2 nd annular portion 37 has an annular shape centered on the central axis J. As shown in fig. 2, the 2 nd annular portion 37 is located below the lower surface of the stator core 20. The 2 nd annular portion 37 is disposed radially outward of the rotor 80 and surrounds a part of the rotor 80. The 2 nd annular portion 37 surrounds a part of the shaft 81 and a part of the bearing 24 from the radially outer side. The outer peripheral surface of the 2 nd annular portion 37 is disposed radially inward of the outer peripheral surface of the stator core 20. The outer peripheral surface of the 2 nd annular portion 37 extends downward from the lower end surface of the core back 21. The inner circumferential surface of the 2 nd annular portion 37 is arranged at the same position in the radial direction as the radially inner side surface of the tooth 22.

The lower end of the 2 nd annular portion 37 protrudes from the lower opening of the cylindrical portion 13 to a position lower than the housing 11. The bearing 24 is fitted and held inside the lower end of the 2 nd annular portion 37. The portion of the insulator 50 below the stator core 20 and the portion of the coil 40 below the stator core 20 are embedded in the 2 nd annular portion 37.

The plurality of columnar portions are columnar portions extending in the axial direction. Although not shown, the plurality of columnar portions are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction over the entire circumference. The plurality of columnar portions are disposed at portions between the teeth 22 adjacent in the circumferential direction. Each columnar portion is filled between the teeth 22 adjacent in the circumferential direction. The upper end of the columnar portion is connected to the 1 st annular portion 36. The lower end of the columnar portion is connected to the 2 nd annular portion 37. The columnar portion connects the 1 st annular portion 36 and the 2 nd annular portion 37. The radially inner surface of the columnar portion is arranged at the same position as the radially inner surface of the tooth 22 in the radial direction.

The inner peripheral surface of the 1 st annular portion 36, the inner peripheral surface of the 2 nd annular portion 37, the radially inner surface of each columnar portion, and the radially inner surface of each tooth 22 have the same radial position, and form a cylindrical curved surface centered on the central axis J.

As shown in fig. 1, the bus bar terminal support portion 38 has a columnar shape protruding upward from the 1 st annular portion 36. The upper surface of the bus bar terminal support portion 38 is a flat surface extending in a direction perpendicular to the central axis J. The axial position of the upper surface of the bus bar terminal support portion 38 is the same as the axial position of the upper end surface of the bus bar terminal holding portion 32. The upper end surface of the bus bar terminal holding portion 32 is exposed to the outside on the upper surface of the bus bar terminal supporting portion 38.

The bus bar terminal support portion 38 extends in an arc shape along the circumferential direction as viewed in the axial direction. The side surfaces on both sides in the circumferential direction of the bus bar terminal support portion 38 are inclined in directions approaching each other in the circumferential direction as going to the upper side. The bus bar terminal support portion 38 has a smaller dimension in the circumferential direction toward the upper side. Thus, for example, when the bus bar terminal support portion 38 is molded by injection molding, the mold can be easily removed. The bus bar terminal support portion 38 has a dimension in the circumferential direction smaller than that of the window hole 17.

The bus bar terminal support portion 38 is provided in plurality in the circumferential direction. In the present embodiment, 3 bus bar terminal support portions 38 are provided in the circumferential direction. At least a part of the bus bar terminal 43 is embedded in and supported by the bus bar terminal supporting portion 38. A lower portion of the bus bar terminal 43 and an upper portion of the bus bar terminal holding portion 32 are embedded in the bus bar terminal support portion 38. The upper end of the bus bar terminal 43 protrudes upward from the bus bar terminal support portion 38. Thus, when the external device is disposed above the motor 1, the external device and the bus bar terminal 43 can be easily connected.

At least a part of the bus bar terminal support portion 38 is inserted into the window hole 17. In the present embodiment, the bus bar terminal support portion 38 protrudes from the 1 st annular portion 36 to a position above the cover portion 12 through the window hole 17. The outer edge of the bus bar terminal support portion 38 is disposed inside the inner edge of the window hole 17 with a gap therebetween over the entire circumference when viewed in the axial direction. Therefore, when the bus bar terminal support portion 38 passes through the window hole 17, the bus bar terminal support portion 38 can be prevented from contacting the inner edge of the window hole 17, and the shape of the cover portion 12 can be prevented from being deformed. Further, the bus bar terminal support portion 38 can be prevented from being damaged by contact with the inner edge of the window hole 17. Further, the outer edge of the bus bar terminal support portion 38 may contact the inner edge of the window hole 17.

In the present embodiment, the housing 11 has a bearing holding portion 14 connected to the radially inner edge portion of the cover portion 12. In the present embodiment, as described above, since the deformation of the cover portion 12 can be suppressed, the deformation of the bearing holding portion 14 connected to the cover portion 12 can be suppressed. Therefore, the reduction in the arrangement accuracy of the bearing 25 and the shaft 81 can be suppressed.

One bus bar terminal support part 38 of the plurality of bus bar terminal support parts 38 has a 2 nd hole part 39 recessed from an upper side surface of the bus bar terminal support part 38 toward a lower side. The 2 nd hole 39 can be used for positioning the stator 10 in the circumferential direction, for mounting an external device to the bus bar terminal support portion 38, and the like, for example.

In the step of fixing the stator 10 to the housing 11, an operator or the like presses the stator 10 into the housing 11 through the opening on the lower side of the cylindrical portion 13. The operator or the like moves the stator 10 upward relative to the housing 11 until the 1 st annular portion 36 comes into contact with the lower surface of the cover 12. Thereby, the stator 10 is fixed to the housing 11 by press fitting.
